A wealthy man's legacy bestowed on his only grandson involves no money, no land just the simple tale, exquisitely told, of his own rise from poverty to happiness and success. The Book of Secrets, from acclaimed motivational speaker and entrepreneur Robert J. Petro, is at once a gentle fable, engaging story and powerful guide to achieving the wealth, security and joy that define true success. The Book of Secrets will appeal to readers of Paulo Coelho's bestselling The Alchemist and such contemporary prosperity bestsellers as David Chilton's two-million-copy The Wealthy Barber, Og Mandino's The Greatest Salesman in the World, George Clason's The Richest Man in Babylon and Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. It is an enchanting tale set in Mexico that conveys the 50 secrets to true success a grandfather's legacy to his grandson. Petro shows how opportunity is everywhere, that readers should become their own bosses, money is nothing more than a fertilizer that can make things grow and other lessons applicable for achieving material and spiritual prosperity.

This was an interesting book. I picked up this book without knowing it's content and the genre. I picked this book thinking that it was a nice interesting teen reads probably a fantasy. But after knowing that it is not i didn't put down the book because the story line was good enough to keep me entertained. Even when I was just like 13/14 years old. This book kind of teaches us the secrets to being wealthy. It entertains you while you learn something when reading. You see the difficulties the character face and the struggle to make money. I read this while I was younger so I didn't really understand how money and business really work. But it was definitely interesting and enjoyable read even for someone who treat this as some random storybook

This book is really great. At the core of the book is a very simple story that wouldn't be particularly enjoyable to exciting to read on its own, but the wisdom and ideas for life and success that are spread liberally through every page more than make up for it! There's so many great ideas in it that make it a surprisingly exceptional book.

I've read this book twice now, and I'll definitely read it a few more times in my life.
